WHEN TO KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME

The following guidelines are for parents to use when keeping their sick children home from school.

Students should stay home if their temperature is 100 degrees or more.

Keep your child home until fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medicine. Children are contagious and can spread disease when they are running a fever. Please keep your child home.

If you are not sure if you should send your child to school, please call the school nurse to discuss your child's symptoms.

STUDENT HEALTH & WELFARE

The health and welfare of every student is our number one concern. In order to provide quality health services for your child we need your help.

Please keep us informed of any vital information that pertains to your child and his/her learning needs while at school. You will need to inform your school nurse and your child's teacher of any health concern which may influence your child's school performance.

When your child is enrolled, all relevant information is recorded, but should you change your address, phone number or place of contact, please notify the school immediately to enable office staff to contact parents as soon as possible in the event of an accident or illness. Please also update emergency contact people and their phone numbers.

In case of accident or illness, only basic first aid can be administered. Parents will be contacted as soon as possible and advised of the circumstances, usually with the recommendation that the child be collected and taken home or to seek medical care.

If your child has a fever of 100 degrees or more, they will be sent home. Students should not return to school until they are fever free for 24 hours, without the aid of medication. This will help to stop the spread of infection.
